Shaft Misalignment Detection using Stator Current Monitoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper inspects the misaligned of shaft by using diagnostic medium such as current and vibration. Misalignments in machines can cause decrease in efficiency and in the long-run it may cause failure because of unnecessary vibration, stress on motor, bearings and short-circuiting in stator and rotor windings. In this study, authors investigate the onset of instability on a shaft mounted on journal bearings. Shaft displacement and stator current samples during machine run up under misaligned condition are measured, analyzed and presented here. Verification of shaft alignment is done by precision laser alignment kit. Result shows that misalignment is the parameter that is more responsible for the cause of instability.

Stator Turn-to-Turn Fault Detection of Induction Motor by Non-Invasive Method Using Generalized Regression Neural Network
Condition monitoring and protection methods based on the analysis of the machine's current are widely used according to non-invasive characteristics of current transformers. It should be noted that, these sensors are installed by default in the machine control center. On the other hand, condition monitoring based on mathematical methods has been proposed in literature. However, they are model b...
متن کاملInter-turn Fault Analysis of Synchronous Generator using Finite Element Method (FEM)
A turn fault in the stator winding of a generator causes a large circulating current to flow in the shorted turns. If left undetected, turn faults can propagate, leading to phaseground or phase-phase faults. Incipient detection of turn’s faults is essential to avoid hazardous operating conditions and reduce down time. At present the synchronous generators are protected against almost all kind o...

In this paper, the nonlinear vibration behavior of a rotor with asymmetric shaft considering misalignment is studied. The system consists of a rectangular shaft and a disk which is connected to a motor through a flexible coupling. In order to consider higher order deformations, nonlinear Bernoulli beam is used for modeling the shaft. Gibbons’ equations are utilized to apply misaligned coupling ...
